THE NORTH CAROLINA TEACH
ERS' ASSEMBLY.

The phenomenal success of this great
ers certainly is a matter of pride to the
entire State. The profession has for
years been wanting just such an oppor-
tunity of annually gathering at some
pleasant place for consultation upon mat
ters pertaining to our school interests,
while at the same time the exhausted
strength might be regained by the invig
Grating mountain air or the refreshing sea
breezes.
The first three sessions Of the Assembly
the mountains, but the attendance has
outgrown the capacity of any hotel IN the
West, and now with membership of
over FIFTEEN HUNDRED the Assembly goes
to the Atlantic Hotel at Morehead City,
the finest and largest seaside resort on the
North Carolina coast. This great hotel
building will accommodate the entire AS
sembly comfortably and the pleasures and
benefits of the coming session will far sur
pass those of any former meeting
most practical and interesting phases of ed
ucational work in North Carolina, and the
speakers chosen to open the discussions on
the various subjects represent the cream
of the profession in the State. Every de-
partment of educational work Will be con-
sidered and no teacher can afford to be
absent from the Assembly, for those who
attend are doing better and more success
full teaching than ever before.
The evenings during the session will be
occupied by eminent North Carolinians
chosel to lecture upon subjects of general
interest and Importance, such as will give
the teachers breadth of ideas and new
trains of thought for more thorough
equipment in their responsible work.
There will also be very fine literary and
musical entertainments on special eve
nings during the session and these will be
conducted entirely by members of the AS
sembly, each contributing their special
line of talent to the general good of all.
The teachers permit friends of educa-
ton who are not engaged in teaching to
become members of their Assembly on
same terms as the regular teachers, and
this is one of the most pleasant and
profitable features Of the organization.
These delightful social gatherings of the
profession and friends are means of mu-
tual improvement so extensive that it is
felt and seen in every section of our State.
Prof E. A. Alderman, of GoldsbOrO, is
president Of the Assembly, and Mr.. Eu-
and either of these officers will gladly
furnish full information concerning the
coming session to all persons who desire
to attend.
The railroads, appreciating the magni-
tude and Importance of the Assembly have
given lower rate of fare to the members
than has ever before been given in the
State. About two and half cents per
mile for the round trip will be the fare,
tickets good from June 14th to July 25th
The special train goes to Morehead City on
Tuesday, June 14th, and the Assembly
continues in session two weeks-until the
goth. The rate of board at the Atlantic
will be only 81 per day, with no extra
charges for any bathing privileges. Spe-
cial rates have been made with all the sail
boats and the livery stable, and the whole
necessary expense of a trip to the Assem-
bly, will be but little more than if to re-
main at home. The special rates on rail
roads, at hotel and with the boats will be
given only to those who present "Cer-
tificate of membership in the Teachers
ASST mbly for 1887. Fees for membership
are 81 for males and 81 for females, and
the sum raised by the fees is used only in
incidental expenses and in providing tai
ented instructors for the annual sessions.
There are no extra charges for any of the
exercises
